Cool pic. I've never seen one in the wild.

In all my years of hunting rattlers I've yet to see one, we just don't have them this far west.


Yes! A Weatherby does kill them deader.

Very majestic. Texas would be the worse if we lost this species. I hope he survived the photo shoot.

You are right (majestic) I think it is against the law to kill a Timber Rattler?

Never seen one in the wild either, but they do appear to be the most photogenic of all the rattlers in Texas.

I got a few pics of them around here, none I can show. grin

They are alive and well in my part of the world. They will get your attention when you find them. They are right up there with the prairie and massauga when it comes to being aggressive. Give them some distance.

Great shot. Ramsey had one messing around his place earlier this week. I still need to see one in person.

I've seen more than a few and have never had one appear aggressive to me.
